[Drabble] Morning Snow

[shimotsuki]

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it! I hope everyone is having a warm and peaceful holiday -- or a busy frenetic one, if that's your preference...

I'm not making a whole lot of progress on my Meta fic, but last night was a full moon, so I decided to take a stab at an AU drabble set in the present. (The web informs me that temperatures are too high in the UK today for snow, but I've taken a pinch of artistic license.)

Morning Snow (100 words | G | RL/NT | AU, 2007)

Remus felt a gentle kiss brush his forehead before Dora tucked the duvet around him and tiptoed out of the room. Sleep washed over him in a warm soft wave, easing the ache of strained muscles and twisted bones—until one eye opened again at the sound of nine-year-old feet pounding down the stairs. He found the bedroom filled with the diffuse white light of a snowy morning.

"Mum! Gran! Look! It's snowing! On Christmas Eve!"

"Hush, Teddy," came Andromeda’s voice automatically. "You'll wake your father."

Remus smiled and burrowed deeper into the soft pillows. He would never mind that.

I missed this while I was away. How lovely it is! Will you write more post-war AU, please?

Thank you so much! I'm, um, definitely working on an outline for my post-war werewolf activism fic. It's going to be one of my fic goals for the new year...something plotty and with OCs, neither of which I've tried before. So that's my excuse for writing more AU. ;)
